GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP



Golden Leek and Potato Soup image

Most potato leek soups are smooth, creamy and decidedly on the richer side. This one doubles the ratio of leeks to potatoes, giving you something sweeter, chunkier and homier, brimming with soft pieces of potato and browned slivers of leeks. A tablespoon or two of heavy cream, drizzled into the soup just before serving, is an optional luscious touch.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds leeks, white and light green part only
2 bay leaves
4 large sprigs fresh thyme
4 large sprigs fresh sage
4 large sprigs parsley, and chopped leaves for garnish
1 large handful celery leaves (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and very thinly sliced
8 cups vegetable stock or water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
1 3/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, halved and thinly sliced
Heavy cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
  • Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.

SAVORY GOLDEN LENTIL AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Savory Golden Lentil and Sweet Potato Soup image

The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors makes this hearty (check out that protein and vitamin A content!) but healthy soup a perfect choice for whatever you happen to be in the mood for. The spices I chose gives it almost an Indian or Moroccan feel; whichever gastronomic prefix sounds tastier to you. It serves well both hot and cold and is delicious over some steamed rice or any other starchy filler.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h

Yield 5 Cups, 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup dried lentils, soaked
3/4 cup sweet potato, peeled and cubed (or 1 medium sized)
1 cup red onion, diced (or 1 medium sized)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup carrot, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth or 1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 cups water

1/2 tablespoon fennel seed
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Soak the lentils in roughly 1 cup of cold water or green tea for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a medium-sized stock pot over medium-high heat, sauté the diced onions and garlic in 1/4 cup of the chicken broth until the onions become translucent (around 5 minutes).
  • Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, and red wine. Cook for around 1 minute or until the wine becomes very fragrant.

  • Remove the lid and add the spices. If you would like to get a thicker consistency, kick the heat back up and reduce until it hits the desired thickness. You may want to adjust the amounts of salt and pepper, depending on your own tastes.
  • Serve the soup either on its own or over a starch with a dollop of raita (thick yogurt mixed with vegetables) or sour cream. Garnish with whatever you like (Featured in the photo is yogurt, carrot, and a dash of paprika.).
